Welcome to BC STEM Opportunities Database! We believe privacy is a fundamental right, and we've built our platform with that principle at its core.

This policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy and outlines our minimal data practices. Our goal is complete transparency about how we operate.

🛡️ Zero Personal Data Collection: We fundamentally do not collect, store, or process any personal information about our users. No names, emails, addresses, or personal identifiers.

🚫 No Tracking Technologies: We don't use cookies, tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or any surveillance technologies to monitor your browsing behavior.

✨ No Account Required: You can explore all opportunities without creating an account or providing any personal information whatsoever.

🔒 Privacy by Design: Our entire system is architected to function without needing to know who you are.

Since we collect zero personal information, there's simply nothing personal to use, share, or sell.

We don't build user profiles, track browsing habits, or create behavioral data sets.

No targeted advertising, no data broker sales, no third-party data sharing - because we don't have any personal data to begin with.

Your privacy isn't a setting you need to configure - it's built into our foundation.

To keep our service running smoothly, we may collect minimal, anonymous technical information:

📱 Device compatibility data (screen size, operating system) to optimize display

🌐 Browser type and version for compatibility assurance

📊 Anonymous usage patterns (page views, popular searches) for performance optimization

⚡ Error logs and performance metrics to maintain service reliability

Important: This data is completely anonymous, aggregated, and cannot be traced back to any individual user.

We use carefully selected third-party services to deliver our platform:

☁️ Vercel for secure, fast content delivery and hosting

📈 Anonymous analytics services for performance monitoring (no personal data shared)

🔧 Content delivery networks for optimal loading speeds

All our third-party partners are contractually bound to respect user privacy and operate under strict no-personal-data policies.

Since we don't collect personal information, there's no personal data to retain, store, or delete.

Anonymous technical logs are automatically purged every 30 days to minimize any data footprint.

We maintain only the minimum technical data necessary for security and performance, all fully anonymized.

🎯 Right to Anonymous Access: Use our entire platform without revealing your identity

🚪 Right to Leave: Stop using our service anytime with zero data retention concerns

❓ Right to Transparency: Ask us anything about our privacy practices

🔍 Right to Verification: We're open about our technical implementation and data practices

Your privacy isn't something you need to request - it's automatically protected by our design.

We may update this privacy policy to reflect service improvements or legal requirements.

Any changes will always maintain our core principle: zero personal data collection.

Updates will be posted here with clear change notifications and effective dates.

We encourage periodic review, though our core privacy commitments will never weaken.
